The $2.50 breakfast is alive and well at Rustica (3220 W. Lake St., Mpls., 612-822-1119, www.rusticabakery.com). Ten quarters buys a magnificent way to greet the day in the form of two jumbo slices of the bakery's superb breads (select from a half-dozen options), several pats of sweet butter and a few spoonfuls of raspberry or strawberry jam. A perfect repast for a pre- or post-Midtown Greenway bike ride.

It’s too soon to tell how much the immigration crackdown is to blame.
